The second full-length from the indie rockers since their reunion. The Get Up Kids reunited in 2008, but have since only released one full-length: 2011’s There Are Rules. There were also a pair of EPs — 2010’s Simple Science and last year’s Kicker — but not a proper follow-up LP. Today, the indie emo pioneers have finally announced their first album in eight years, Problems. Set for a May 10th release via Polyvinyl, the record came together over a three weeks in Bridgeport, Connecticut with the aid of producer Peter Katis (Kurt Vile, The National). Taking a “decidedly pop-minded approach to song structure,” they wrapped their trademark anthemic choruses around the anxieties and loneliness of the modern age to create a “shared experience, giving way to an unbreakable solidarity.”
